Icon1 What do you think? Air king116900 or Date 115234 Diamond black dial

Hello,

Would you folks tell me how to think of these two timepieces.
Between the new Air King 116900 or the Date 115234 Diamond black dial.
Which one would you pick?
Why?

2 very different time pieces.
Airking has that sporty look with its new case and dial.
Date with the diamonds will be more classy and mature.

Really depends on your age and lifestyle...

I am not a fan of diamonds on watches. I have a new Air King and really like it, but I am not sure it would be my first Rolex.

Air King is way better.

Id never use a watch with diamonds on it..

My reasons are politically incorrect.. So ill keep them to myself.

Take the Air King.

I"d go for the Date. More upscale than AK, which I also like.

Other factor considering is that air King is 40mm now, the date Diamond one is 34mm.
Material point of view the date is better. But still can't decide.
Need different people point of view to look at.

Are you male or female? If female, get the 34mm Date. If male get the 40mm Air-King. 34mm is way too small for a guy to wear these days.
